Compound Butter

[Blythewood BBQ'er]

Anyone want to share a good compound butter for beef? Been wanting to try some on some steaks and possibly some burgers.

I made this anchovy butter recently. Great on steak and will try on pork chop soon

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
4 minced garlic cloves
8 anchovies packed in oil, drained and minced
1/2 teaspoon hot paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt

Softened butter, smoked fresh garlic cloves and blue cheese crumbles with a tad of green chile powder

I take a couple sticks softened butter, add some chopped fresh herbs - thyme, rosemary, basil, parsley, chives, maybe a little tarragon... Whatever I have usually. Add a couple big cloves of worth of minced garlic, a little pepper and salt, and a couple tablespoons of Evoo. Put it all in a food processor till well mixed, roll in wax paper and put it in the freezer to harden.

There's some details in this old thread of mine - http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?p=3191119#post3191119

Bly, another option is cold smoked butter. It's pretty tasty stuff!

I make compound butter with fresh thyme, lavender, rosemary and roasted garlic. Never put it on a steak, I usually work it under the skin of a chicken but I would imagine it would be great on a steak as well.

This :thumb:, or my personal fav -> Softened butter with fresh tarragon and a dash of sherry.

It is almost overkill on beef, but I like butter and roasted bone marrow.

Been actually meaning to do a post with that soon as I just made a fresh batch last weekend.

FBJ's blue cheese marrow butter is crazy friggun good! Kinda like Frosted Lucky Charms, magically delicious!

Not really a recipe, but for the first time I whipped this up for some strips on Mother's Day:

1 stick butter (softened)
finely minced garlic to taste (I believe I used two cloves)
1/2 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped (can add more to taste)
small amount of dried thyme
black pepper

I put these guys in a small bowl and tasted as I mixed. It was awesome on steak, very silky

I make a Blue-cheese & Herb Compound butter that goes great with steak.

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1/2 cup softened Blue-cheese
1/4 cup loosely packed parsley leaves and then finely minced
1 tsp. dried thyme

Here a link showing how I made it. (half way down the post)

Brown some mushrooms, blend them to liquid, and then cook them down in a little butter till thick.

Add this to a 1/4 or 1/2 lb softened butter. For the lesser quantity add 2T of sherry and 1/2t of thyme, double for the greater quantity. Add salt and pepper to taste. Put in fridge to re-solidify.

This is really good over steaks. It is a mushroom essence butter. Warning--it can look a bit nasty when solidified.

I'm a fan of roasted garlic and basil, or fresh garlic and cilantro. Both are good on a steak.
